Dongfang Che had originally suspected that he had been tricked by someone, and now, hearing what Zhao Baolin said, he couldn't contain his anger and walked over to grab Zhao Baolin's collar and asked, "What did you say?"

"What do you know? Who poisoned me?" Dongfang Che asked.

Zhao Baolin sneered, "I won't tell you!"

"Do you think you can rest easy just because you've captured me and exterminated my entire clan? You're dreaming!"

"Dongfang Che, you are a tyrant! You deserve to have no descendants!" Zhao Baolin roared angrily.

Dongfang Che let go of Zhao Baolin with a gloomy face, "Drag him away and skin him alive."

Zhao Baolin could have died more peacefully, but she cursed Dongfang Che to have no children and grandchildren, and also revealed that he had been given a sterilizing drug. Dongfang Che could only vent his inner anger on her.

Dongfang Che said with a gloomy face, "An Yi."

A figure appeared in the hall and bowed to Dongfang Che.

"Find out, I want to know who drugged me."

"Yes." An Yi accepted the order.

Dongfang Che now wondered if his six imperial doctors were all in vain. Why didn't anyone notice that he had been drugged?

Also, if he really took the sterilizing drug, why could his concubine get pregnant?

"His Majesty--"

When Dongfang Che was doubting, Cao Fu came in from outside, looking a little flustered and said, "Your Majesty, something happened to the Imperial Concubine."

Dongfang Che couldn't help but feel his veins throbbing. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger and said, "What happened? Someone attacked my heir again?"

"Your Majesty, news came from over there that... the child in the imperial concubine's belly is not yours. She had an affair with someone in the harem and secretly got pregnant..." Cao Fu said carefully.

Dongfang Che's face darkened.

Dongfang Che was in a very bad mood when he just heard Zhao Baolin say that he had been given an abortion drug. He was doubting it when he heard someone say that his beloved concubine was pregnant with someone else's child.

"Let's go! Let's take a look!" Dongfang Che said, suppressing his anger.

Yunqi Palace.

"Empress Dowager, this guard is Concubine Gu's adulterer!" Wang Zhaorong said, pointing at a tall man kneeling in the yard.

"Gu Guifei had an affair with him before she entered the palace. After entering the palace, she brought him in as a guard, and the two continued to have an affair." Wang Zhaorong continued, speaking with details and evidence.

Wushuang watched Wang Zhaorong's performance calmly, then looked at the man kneeling in the yard.

He is quite tall, but still a little bit shorter than Dongfang Che.

Dongfang Che is 1.88 meters tall. Although he is the emperor, he pays great attention to exercise, so he has a good figure.

Most importantly, Dongfang Che has a very handsome face.

As the royal family of Da Sheng, the Dongfang family has had many beauties in the harems of emperors throughout the dynasties. With generations of genetic improvement, Dongfang Che's appearance was certainly not bad when it came to his turn.

The most important thing is...

Wushuang looked at Empress Dowager Yu. She was also a rare beauty. Even now that she was old, she still had the charm of a great beauty.

With such a mother, Dongfang Che is not bad looking.

So, she looked down on Dongfang Che but fell in love with a man who was inferior to him in every way. Was she blind?

"Your Majesty, no concubine in the harem has ever been pregnant. Concubine Gu is having an affair with this guard in order to secure the position of Empress. She wants to confuse the royal bloodline and use a trick to kill someone else."

"When she gives birth to a son, His Majesty will make her empress. Later, she will become the empress dowager. Then, won't the throne of Dasheng soon fall into the hands of someone else?"

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Gu is worthy of death." Wang Zhaorong said indignantly.

Empress Dowager Yu was a champion of palace fighting after all. She would not condemn Wushuang based on Wang Zhaorong's one-sided statement. Instead, she looked at her and asked, "Noble Concubine Gu, do you have anything to say?"

Wushuang smiled and said, "Of course I have something to say."

She looked at Wang Zhaorong and said, "This...when you framed me, why didn't you find a handsome man?"

Wushuang had a young eunuch walk over, pinch the guard's chin and lift his face up, then smiled and said, "Everyone, take a look. Does this man's appearance compare to your majesty's?"

Everyone looked at the guard's appearance, and they could truly say that he was extraordinarily handsome, but they also had to admit that he was not as good as Dongfang Che.

Wushuang said, "When you framed me, you should have understood my character. Am I the kind of person who would put myself in a difficult position?"

"With a man as outstanding as Your Majesty, why would I fall for someone who is inferior to him in every way?"

"In terms of status, Your Majesty is the Emperor of Dasheng; in terms of appearance, Your Majesty is even more handsome and extraordinary; in terms of... no matter how you look at it, Your Majesty is a top-notch man."

"So, what good will it bring to me if I have an affair with this person?"

"Oh, this person... I don't know what position he holds... Tsk, she said I had an affair with him for the sake of the child."

"But...how can you be so sure that His Majesty can't have children?" Wushuang looked at everyone and said, "You are all doctors, more skilled than the imperial physician. Are you sure that His Majesty can't have children?"

"Your Majesty's six imperial physicians and all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau are unable to diagnose whether Your Majesty can have children, but you know it very well." Wushuang looked at the other concubines and said.

The concubines shook their heads violently. They didn’t know, they knew nothing.

Wang Zhaorong looked at Wushuang calmly, as if she was not the one caught having an affair with a guard and defiling the harem. She felt very unwilling.

"Noble Concubine Gu, please don't talk about other things. If this man isn't your adulterer, why would he appear in Yunqi Palace in the middle of the night, and in your bedroom?"

"Were your personal belongings, Concubine Gu, also found on him?" Wang Zhaorong asked.

Wushuang looked at her and asked, "May I ask what your rank is? What is your position?"

Wang Zhaorong's face turned pale.

Gu Wushuang is really going too far. Still no one knows who she is?

She was the one who wanted to bring her down, so why didn't she know who she was until now?

Wang Zhaorong gritted her teeth and said, "I am Zhaorong Wang."

"Gu! Don't change the subject. You're the sinner who defiled the harem and confused the royal bloodline. Why don't you confess your crime?"

After hearing her words, Wushuang said with a somewhat arrogant expression, "Zhaorong, Wang! You are just a little Zhaorong, but you are so bold as to ask a noble concubine like me for punishment?"

"Why? Is it you, Wang Zhaorong, who is in charge of the harem and exercises the duties of the queen?

Wang Zhaorong glanced at Concubine Ming secretly when she heard this, and was so frightened that she quickly explained, "Of course not, I don't have any."

"Then Wang Zhaorong, who gave you the courage to question me in such a disrespectful manner?"

Wang Zhaorong said, "You, Gu, are sinners! You and this adulterer plotted against His Majesty. This Empress is simply out of pity for His Majesty and is merely trying to clean up the bad habits in the palace."

Wushuang raised an eyebrow, "You all say this man is my adulterer. Did you catch him in bed?"

"You just saw him appear in my bedroom and decided that he was my adulterer."

"So, is it possible that someone else framed me?"

I know the palace intrigue plot is pretty dumb, but who can blame the author for being so smart? He can only write about this level of palace intrigue.
